BOTOX®: NEUROMODULATOR INJECTABLE RELAXERS

Some people call it the "ELEVEN". These harsh lines in between your eyebrows, facial smile and under the eye qualify for the neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, DYSPORT® and XEOMIN®.

One of the pillars of an aging face is the development of folds and wrinkles upon expressions. This occurs because our facial muscles are intrinsically attached to the skin. When these muscles contract during expressions, the skin will retract between the eyebrows and crow's feet area, creating an "accordion" effect. Neuromodulators are natural compounds that work blocking the signal that makes these muscles contract. Thus, the overlying skin smooths out.

This simple, non-surgical treatment works by gently applying a few microscopic injections into specific areas of the face which relax the muscles to provide a smooth and even skin surface. The procedure is proven to be effective in bringing back a fresh appearance by lifting your brows and diminishing wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Neuromodulators have been used for decades changing the lives of men and women around the world making it the most common and safest aesthetic procedure.

Like any other drug, they have to be FDA approved before being used clinically. Thus, fillers have a very safe track record in the United States. There are several different types of fillers. Some are used to correct the volume loss related to the aging face, applied deeper under the skin; while others are applied more superficial to correct fine lines and wrinkles for a finished airbrush look.
